Supporting and acting responsibly on the green issues of today and tomorrow is crucial to our future success. Nominees for this award may have done significant work in minimising negative environmental impacts (directly for the university, or for wider benefit via their research) or increasing awareness and understanding of sustainable development among staff and students.
| When preparing your nomination, please focus on the difference the work has made — who it has benefited, how it has added value and why it matters — rather than describing tasks or outputs alone. |
